Large Threaded Balls?

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me where I might be able to find large
threaded balls for barbells - I'm prepared for internal or external threads
and will change my bar accordingly.

This is the closest I've found but not UK based :(
http://www.steelnavel.com/product.as...2=1&A1=8&A2=11

It all started when I saw a new pic on BME titled 10 ga Ampallang with 3/4
inch balls.! I knew I had to either put a curved barbell in my PA or upgrade
to an aprydryva. I'm currently at 3.2mm but love the idea of having larger
balls (on the jewellery!) than then the barbell traditionally dictates.

All help and flaming welcomed! Thanks in advance

I'm partial to and have had very good experiences with Body Circle:
http://www.bodycircle.com/merchant.ihtml?id=7&step=2
but they're US based.

As for UK based, sorry, no help there...

It's not the bar that needs to be changed. No external threading.
Ever.

If you are willing to accept external threading, you're willing to
accept any old, crappy jewelry.

And that is sad.

I will second bodycircle if you don't find a UK based supplier. Theit
shipping charges are not an extra cash grab and they are very good
with international orders, including knowing how to set things up so
one doesn't get dinged with 40% duty charges.

I'm happy to accept externally threaded jewellery, and I'm happy to be sad!

If you know of any online stores that can solve my crappy sad problem please
let me know!

Thanks for the contribution ;o)

Thanks guys! A handy link, I'll give them a try once I've worked out how to
convert the measurements. I was brought up on metric in a country that still
uses imperial and my head's a mess...

Thanks again,

Andy

I managed to find this gem tucked away at the bottom of the page - it's now
living in my bookmarks - mm, inches and ga !
http://www.bodycircle.com/conversion_chart.htm

I've made my order from the site so fingers crossed - thanks anyway, I'm
really grateful, I was starting to think that the good old newsgroups were
now abandoned with only flamers and trolls wandering around these days.

I think you'll be happy with Body Circle. I've gotten custom
and standard items from them and have never been disappointed
with service or product.
